Just fixed a few bugs inside the XML-RPC encoder. Apparently, I saw code inside the XML-RPC library itself where NSNumbers were forced or typecasted as NSStrings which is a big no-no. Changed the casting part to [nsnumberinstance description]. Still wondering why it worked before.

Anyway, the XML-RPC library is really old. Didn’t change the library, though. Just tweaked it a bit.

As for the moment, I’ve already uploaded version 1.2.1 beta. Once I’m assured that things are OK will I only remove the beta mark.

I’m open for suggestions for Photon version 2. Please leave your comments below. One of my plans for version 2 is the grid-style thumbnail gallery I mentioned before. One MovableType user requested this, and I really think it’s neat.

As for the current version, please start testing. If it seems to not work, please make sure that:

1. The “Entry Creation” tab inside the blog settings pane has entries in it. If none, then click the “+” button below the blog listing, and remove the just-created item using the “-” button.

2. “Categories” dropdown inside the Weblog tab, of the Export pane, is not stuck to “Retrieving…”. If it’s stuck to that or crashes, please send me the crash reports.

That’s all folks!

Just adding more pictures of the Tidal Pool we saw along the way.

Enjoy!

This is the first time we saw the tidal pools.

Huge coral formations!

Dead coral formations. Really spiky!

Lots of blue colors!

If you see this post, together with a couple of pictures from my Pagudpud trip last week, then Photon is definitely working for Leopard and iPhoto ‘08 latest version.

Shortly after this post, I will be posting Photon version 1.2.1 on the downloads section, and tomorrow, I will be putting up the Photon SVN repository.

This is the Kaibigan Falls. Kaibigan literally means "friend".

This is (technically) my boss, together with his wife.
